How can you become a more effective, impactful, and authentic Asian leader?

Building leadership excellence, celebrating your uniqueness, and cultivating community are the key ingredients to success — and the focus of the Asian Leadership Program curriculum. The rigorous curriculum is thoughtfully designed to help you gain new skills, insights, and approaches to grow as a leader and accelerate your career. And you’ll be learning in great company — with a highly qualified and motivated global cohort of leaders and world-renowned faculty from Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Through faculty-led lectures, small-group exercises, guest speakers, plus daily reflection and application of concepts, you’ll enhance your leadership competencies and amplify your unique leadership style. You’ll learn how to draw on your identity as a source of power to thrive and lead.

As the first leading business school to develop a program for Asian executives, we’ve learned that designing a specialized curriculum that delivers core leadership content through the lens of your identity provides a more personalized, relevant, and rewarding education experience.

Explore the three curricular pillars of your learning experience

Excellence

From exploring the neuroscience of leadership to mastering global negotiations, you’ll dig into core leadership topics that help you sharpen your competencies, change your mindset, and amplify your impact in the business world.

Uniqueness

Individuals are profoundly shaped by their own cultures and unique upbringings. By understanding and then leveraging your Asian identity and strengths, you’ll become a more effective and authentic communicator, speaker, motivator, and leader.

Community

The learning experience gets even better when you can do it with others who share similar backgrounds, understand your challenges, provide diverse perspectives, and support your success. While the program is just one week, you’ll build relationships that add value to your life and career for years to come.

During your action-packed week on campus, you’ll connect, share experiences, and learn with — and from — your cohort of peers. Here’s a glimpse of some of the immersive activities you’ll experience during the Asian Leadership Program.

• Informal gatherings outside of the classroom are built into your program experience. Each morning, you’ll have the option of joining your peers for morning fitness sessions designed for every level and ability. If you miss the workout, you’ll have plenty of time to connect during evening receptions and over healthy — and delicious — meals.

• Small groups. Big topics. Each day, participants will get together to reflect and discuss classroom learnings, providing the opportunity to apply concepts to real-time challenges Asian leaders face. You will share insights with a diverse set of leaders from different industries, functions, and geographies to gain a new perspective.

• Building interpersonal trust is key to effective relationships — both personally and professionally. You’ll explore proven methods of interacting with others that build connection and invite exchanges that lead to mutual understanding.
